I am your constant companion, I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure. I am at your command. Half of the tasks that you do you might just as well Turn over to me and I will do them quickly and correctly. I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done. After a few lessons, I will do it automatically. I am the servant of all great people And the regret of all failures as well. Those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failures. I am not a machine but I will work with all its precision Plus the intelligence of a person. Now you may run me for profit or you may run me for ruin. It makes no difference to me. Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will lay the world at your feet. Be easy with me and I will destroy you. Try your best to have good habit's when you trade! I know it is hard, it took me years, but the sooner you can eliminate your bad habit's the sooner you will see that trading can be enjoyable & profitable. Take Care, Joe Baker
I was gone for the middle third of the session - but did indeed see your extended target hit, lol. gA
Thanks Joe Baker, you've taught me alot. I love your videos, your voice, attitude, non self-promoting style. I am one of the few female traders and what got me started was the whacky worldwide bubble. As a single mom, putting two through college, making sure my nest egg beats inflation has been my priority, and I have after a few years finally learned to do that. I could probably make more money working overtime as an RN but that job is even more stressful than day trading. Before nursing I was a computer science major, love math, news, and economics fascinate me and confuse me, excite me and scare me. I'm a newsaholic and have a hard time filtering out BS. The main thing I have learned from you is to focus on the market, taking the news as it comes and considering it as confirmation or not, but I used to try and trade on the news, and that was a disaster. Just sayin, you brighten up my day with your videos. I am in a strange time zone and work strange hours perfect for trading. Mahalo, Hawaiinurse
Thank you for the kind words, Is nice to know after so many years of trading, good and bad that you can help to shorten the learning curve for other's in there trading God Bless, Joe Baker
Target hit <i>plus 12 points!</i> So JB, with a close above 1292. . .I am curious to hear your market analysis for Monday. Quite bullish, no? gA
HEY! Good morning JB - it looks like your video didn't post. I was listening to your "triple top" analysis and was wondering how you switched to "bearish" (reversal pattern) after last week's close well above 1292. That especially when (a while back) I remember you thought it was awful (for long investors) for more declines/break of support levels and that we were indeed looking to get out of trouble (when I thought we'd go down and who cares?!?) Anyway, my fairly reliable experienced call stated we are well into a new bull trend so you can understand my shock when I heard "triple top" from you when I was looking all weekend for a JB confirm with the higher close, lol. Then I realized that was Friday's video. So any update will help. In the meantime the market will update us, lol. It seems to be holding onto staunch gains fairly well.gA aka Pay$3nse PS I guess if I <i>subscribe</i> I'll get the levels in advance!
